• 110 g packed brown sugar

• 1,400 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2.5 cm pieces

How to make Chicken barbecue (Inihaw na manok)

1. In a large non-reactive bowl, storage container, or resealable bag, mix together the banana ketchup, 7UP, lemon juice, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic until the sugar has dissolved.

2. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover the bowl or container, or seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

3. When ready to cook, preheat a grill pan over high heat, or prepare a charcoal or gas grill to medium heat.

4. Reserve the marinade, then thread 3 or 4 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, allowing the pieces to touch slightly, and place them on a plate or baking tray.

5. Pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, then set aside.

6. Lightly spray the grill pan or grill grate with cooking oil. Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning them frequently and basting with the heated marinade, until cooked through; the centre of a piece of chicken should register 75°C on an instant-read thermometer. This will take about 8–15 minutes, depending on your cooking surface (discard any leftover marinade).

7. Transfer the skewers to a platter and serve immediately, with sawsawan.
